Biking

Bicycling is a proven sustainable form of transportation, and we, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, strongly encourage our students, faculty, staff, and visitors to utilize the bicycle infrastructure available on campus. As of October 2019, our campus can accommodate up to 11,635 bicycles, and nearly all campus buildings have a bike rack within 150 feet. With the introduction of a bike share program, investment in campus bike infrastructure, Bike at Illinois, MCORE project, and other bicycle-related features, we have achieved Silver-level Bicycle Friendly University (BFU) certification from the League of American Bicyclists (LAB). Read more about our achievement in the F&S news announcement: Illinois Promoted to a Silver Bicycle Friendly University.

Bike at Illinois (bike.illinois.edu) is the campus community’s comprehensive bicycling resource, helping everyone have a safer, more comfortable, and enjoyable biking experience on campus and connected to the surrounding communities. The site’s user-friendly, responsive, and accessible design makes getting information easy while on the go using smartphones and tablets.

Bike at Illinois website provides the information on where to get a new or old bicycle, how to register your bicycle, bicycle related events happening in the community, how to ride your bicycle safely, rules of the road for bicyclists, campus and community bicycle maps, temporary impact to bike parking and/or routes, among of other helpful resources.
